Eve-Tech plans to launch a crowdfunding campaign for the upcoming Eve V tablet on November 21st. But after soliciting ideas for the tablet’s design from members of the Eve community, the company is revealing a few more details about the tablet’s specs.

We already knew that the tablet would feature an Intel Kaby lake processor, a 12 inch display, and a Microsoft Surface-like 2-in-1 design that lets you use the tablet with a detachable keyboard cover.

Now Eve-Tech has revealed that the tablet will have a 12.3 inch, 2736 x 1824 pixel IGZO display… much like the Surface Pro 4.

Eve’s tablet also has a Thunderbolt 3 port, a USB 3.1 Type-C port, and two full-sized USB 3.1 ports, while the Surface Pro 4 has just a single USB 3.0 port and a Mini DisplayPort.

As for the Eve V’s display, it’s said to have a 3:2 aspect ratio, a 1:1400 contrast ratio, 450 cd/m2 brightness, and optically bonded glass, which the company says should help make it sunlight viewable (although if I’ve learned anything from reading iFixit teardowns, it’s that this also makes it tougher to repair a broken screen).

Eve has also confirmed that the tablet will ship with metal-mesh touch panel with support for 10-finger multitouch input. The Eve V also supports Windows Ink and can work with an N-Trig digital pen with 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity, but the pen will be sold separately. The tablet also supports pens designed for the Surface 3, Surface Pro 3, or Surface Pro 4 tablets.

Other new details include the sensors: the Eve V has a gravity sensor, light sensor, gyroscope, a fingerprint reader, and a hall sensor.

The goal is to also include GPS, but there’s a chance that it will only be available in the upcoming 4G LTE model of the tablet, since that version will most likely have a different case design to ensure better support for cellular and satellite signals.

Eve hasn’t revealed the official pricing for the tablet yet, but an entry-level model is expected to cost less than $900, while a top-of-the-line version shouldn’t cost more than $1800.

It looks nice, but why would I buy this over a Surface 4, or a Transformer 3 Pro? Sure they’re promising 7th gen Intel CPUs, but I’m more confident in Asus’s ability to deliver 7th gen ontime, compared to a crowdfunded product.

It’s not about providing the latest Intel quickest.

I rather buy a Lenovo, ASUS, Surface, HP, Toshiba, or Acer instead.They will at least guarantee a decency of quality, and will actually help you in terms of issues.

That is also very true, but in regards to my comment, My concern is that I would not tie up that much money with something that I’m not confident in being delivered on time

Also true.I see the fastest people to get their hands on crowdfunded projects are ones that buy it from an online store when it becomes available (ie “screw the backers”).

This is a very stupid idea. 🙂 I mean, they may be nice people with good intentions, but they should have crowdfund for a decent notebook instead. You may not like Apple but they are right at least in this: they do not try to mix and match their tablet and notebook lines. At least, that’s what they are publicly saying, with the introduction of their new line of notebooks. 🙂 Not many seem to try to compete with Apple on making decent notebooks, besides Xiaomi with their recent release. And Microsoft, with their oh so expensive Surface Book. No one use the Surface Book as a tablet, everyone use it as a laptop. If you happen to live in a place where Surface Pros are sold and people use them, you may find that people rather to use them as traditional laptops as well (they are cheaper than Surface… Read more »

This one includes digital pen support, which puts it in a completely different category of device than normal notebooks. Devices with support for pressure-sensitive digital pens usually have different target markets than devices that don’t, but this usually isn’t obvious to people who don’t need that functionality.

If Core m3 or i5 are fanless and battery duration is 10h indeed, I have only one question left: What does “95% less reflection” mean? 5% reflection woukd be about as bad as the Surface Pro’s 5.6%. 95% less than that would be a very good matte display suitable outdoors in the sun for productive work. Which is it – evil or delight?

I’d be very leery of any “crowdfunding” campaign that took such a big amount of money out of my pocket. Been burned enough times on smaller ticket items
